What's the public administrator's job?

The public administrator is an elected official who is assigned
custodial and administrative responsibility for the estates of deceased
people and the persons and estates of minors and incapacitated or
disabled people when there is no legal guardian, conservator or
competent person to assume those duties. When ordered by the court to
assume such duties, the public administrator provides for the proper
care of the person and protects the assets of an estate against injury,
waste, theft or loss. Public administrators serve four-year terms. The
salary is $82,026.
